Introduction

Starting an Etsy Store

• She charged less during the sale to encourage people to buy her product and leave a great review.

• The original cost of the items was about $15 each, but with 30% off, they were about $10 per listing.

• As people showed interest in her product and started buying it, she realized that she could charge more than $10 per listing.

Running Costs

• The speaker had to run Etsy ads which cost money.

• She started off with one dollar a day but increased it to two dollars a day after hearing that it was better.
